Drawing Logos



hi all!
I'm trying to re-draw my old Gif logo in Flash so that it can be a scaleable graphic without quality loss.

I tried some good tutorials from cartoonsmart.com and they helped a bit, but I'm having problems still...

attatched is the file in which i tried to re-draw it, but it's a bit rubbish really.

do you think i should re-design it completely?

anyone have any ideas?

Animating Logos?
Well I wanna animate this logo:

http://s43. photobucket. com/albums/e394/Dukenuke001/?action=view&current=Logo2. png

For now, I just want to make a simple flash animation for my flash games I make. Basically, I want to have "GoodTouch" appear then animate the spray paint (graffiti) coming onto it as it changes to BadTouch (Company name is GoodTouchBadTouch).

I work pretty well in coding flash, and do some good animating. This on the other hand is just giving me trouble. I have the original photoshop file if that helps. Anyone want to work with me on this? I really have no idea where to start. I've been using SWiSHMax for over a year and just bought Flash CS3 Professional and am lost (buying the bible soon).

I'm also looking for someone who wants credit in anything I make and maybe someone to animate in the future for me if this ever takes off. It be some fun at least even if it doesn't go far. Please contact me if you are interested with a reply here first, then we can talk from there.

One day I think I am going to work in Maya and make a 3D animation of this all, I am just too busy/lazy to do it right now.

Chrome Logos
I already know how to make a chrome looking logo in flash, but unfortunately, it still comes out too dark. I have the MX version. How can I actually make the logo look brighter? It's only two lower case letters against a black background.

Do I need to use another software to create this logo better or to create it in another software all together? Or is there a way to brighten it up in Flash?

[CS3] Links To Scrolling Logos
I'm trying to create a scrolling logo ad, that will link to each logos site. I can do it when the motion tween isn't there, but can't seem to figure out how to get it to work with scrolling logos. I've tried adding AS while creating the button symbols for each logo, I've also tried adding the AS to the object in the frame. I can't seem to do it on a separate layer either. I feel like I am missing a very fundamental piece of info here, like where to put the AS when objects are in motion. Can anyone help? I'm attaching the FLA if anyone could make sense of the mess I've made.
thank you

Scrolling Logos Horizontally
I'm looking to find a tutorial and some information about setting up a small flash piece for a website that, when loaded, will be able to display x-number of logos that are slowly moving from top to bottom in a loop. When the cursor goes over that area it will either move up or down, depending on the location. And obviously, the logos can be clicked for entrance into a different page within the site. I'm a basic flash person (mainly XHTML/CSS developer) with limited scripting knowledge which is why (a) I came here and (b) already searched the web for similar tutorials, but am only finding "text scrolling" applications.

Please advise!

Drawing An Outline Of An Object In Flash And Then Animating The Drawing?

I do not know where to begin? So may need a lot of direction on this one.

Scrolling Drawing Board? Drawing Without Moving The Mouse
Hello, I'm new to this board and kind of a flash newbie so you could probably help me out.


What I'm trying to build is what you could call a scrolling drawing board - just like a drawing board but when the mouse comes close to the edge of the window, it scrolls and lets you continue your drawing.
I have no problem creating a drawing board with API, but i can't make it scroll. Usually when i want to scroll a background image i make it move along with the mouse when the cursor is near the edge of the window (for example, if the mouse's coordinates are above a certain number, the background image starts moving in one direction so it "scrolls" in the other direction).
So i wanted to do this with the movieclip of the drawing in a drawing board (make it move according to mouse's coordinates near the edge of the window), but when i scroll i have to stop the mouse at the edge of the window because i cant go any further :p so the drawing moves but it stops drawing. Or maybe what i need is some way to draw even when the mouse is not moving. Is that possible?

I'm sorry it may seem a bit confused (moreover english isnt my native langage :p), I'll try to post an example later. In the meantime, if any of you see how i can do that ... thanks

Drawing Scripts For A Drawing Program

Drawing A Soft Mask... Drawing Api?
Hello everyone, (almost) first post here
I'm creating a, quite original flash website (meh... not my idea in fact, I'm only the flasher!), in wich you're in a car, sitting on the passenger side, and you're looking outside to see the contents coming on the road.
It rains.
A lot.
So the windowseat is "fogged" (how can I say that...???) and while you're loading the content you actually can draw on the glass with your.. err... finger (mouse!), like how your friends usually do in your car when you really don't want their fingerprints all over your car glass

Ok, easy way to do that:
1 - attachmovie
you actually duplicate a circle, give it some randomness in blurring and size so it looks irregular and place it right under your mouse.

Good, it works... but when you move fast, it just leaves a blank spaces between clip and clip...

Hey... that's not fair...

2 - drawing api
Oh my god... I can't make a mask with a simple line, so I should draw a shape while moving the mouse.
The point is... HOW???

I dunno if there's a better way to do that, but that's the only one in my mind now.
Actually the drawn clip should also be blurred a little bit (1 or 2 percent) wich is not a problem since you can easily blur the container.

But now the real point is: how do I draw like that with the beginfill?!?!?

Note: I uploaded the fla so you can have an idea on how it looks...

[MX04] "Drawing" Line Effect Using Drawing API
So i've got a basic drawing using the drawing API ala:
myLine = this.createEmptyMovieClip("newLine", 1);
myLine.lineStyle(3, 0x000000, 100);
myLine.moveTo(0,0);
myLine.lineTo(100,0);
myLine.lineTo(100,100);...etc

Now is there a way to have flash animate the drawing of the lines like a map from an Indiana Jones movie?

Thanks!

Drawing Api Drawing Saving
ok - say i have made a swf where you can draw, with possible color change and different brush size, and i want to somehow save my drawing (in a database)
so i figured every little line that is drawn on enter frame has 6 values - start x, start y, end x, end y, color and size.
approximately - first 4 are 3 numbers, color is 6 numbers and size is 2 numbers length, so its 4*3+6+2=20 numbers for one little line
the framerate of the movie is 100fp/s so getting the maximum smoothness of the drawing, so one little line is drawn in 1/100 of a second, and in a second i have to save 20*100=2000 numbers.
a symbol is 8 bytes, so 2000*8=16000 bytes (/1024~15,5kb) - in a second!
so if you draw for a minute - its 16000*60=960'000 bytes (/1024~937,5kb~1mb) in a minute!

and my question is how to save a drawing to a database different way then im thinking, to me this seems the only way...

1mb per minute of drawing seems kinda lame for me and noone will want to wait till it loads up

Drawing API - A Line Drawing Itself
I can draw a simple line with the drawing API and I'm able to place it on the stage where I want to but I'm trying to have the line draw itself between x=0 y=0 and x=600 y=400.

Any pointers on how to take that on?

Cant Tell When Merge Drawing Model Vs. Object Drawing Model
I keep drawing shapes on the same layer, overlapping them, and then trying to delete one of the shapes to cut a shape out of the first. This does not work automatically as Help says it does, I have to go to "Modify > Combine Objects > Union" to merge them, THEN I can cut my shape out. When is this supposed to occur "automatically"? How am I supposed to know what mode I'm in?

Help, I Can't See What I'm Drawing.

Drawing A Box
I want to do an animation where you draw a box. But instead of just the box appearing I want to start with the upper left corner and then as the animation goes on the top lines is drawn then the right side line then the bottom line then the left side until it connects with the upper left corner. How do I do this?

Help With Drawing
I wrote the following code, put it in the first frame's action window and nothing happens!! I see absolutely nothing. No errors, nothing. Why?

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("t1_mc",1);
_root.t1_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("back_mc",1);
_root.t1_mc.createTextField("text_mc",1);
_root.t1_mc.text_txt.autoSize=true;
_root.t1_mc.text_txt.selectable=false;
_root.t1_mc.text_txt.text="Label of Button";

with (_root.t1_mc.back_mc) {
beginFill(0x00ff00, 100);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(_root.t1_mc.text_txt.textWidth, 0);
lineTo(_root.t1_mc.text_txt.textWidth, _root.t1_mc.text_txt.textHeight);
lineTo(0, _root.t1_mc.text_txt.textHeight);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
}


Also, how do you change the visiblity and the position of a newly created movie clip on the stage?

Is it me? I've been programming in C++, Java and Visual Basic for years. I think I'm a fairly bright guy. But, I find this actionscript very confusing. It's not object oriented (just because you call things objects doesn't make it OO) and it's not structured well. It's not intuitive to determine what the scope of objects and variables are. It's also difficult to find code in a project. I think that Flash as a drawing and animation tool is outstanding.. but the programming environment simply sucks. A lot of people that haven't programmed in a lot of other environments may not realize it but coding shouldn't be this non-intuitive. ...and the lack of context-sensitive help doesn't help any! OK. I'm off my soap box now.

Any help for the above problem much appreciated.

Drawing API
I'm really not very familiar with the new drawing API.
Could I, for example, code an animated line to appear as a sort of loose, free flowing scribble on the stage? Kind of as if someone was just loosely drawing or scribbling with a pen?
Would that be a nightmare to code?

Can't See What I'm Drawing
I'm having some problems with flash
Usually when I drag out a box or a circle, I can see the box or the circle begin from the starting point, and then it expands as I move the cursor ******ds to the desired size. Everyone knows this.
Drag out a box, and you can actually see the box coming out... in flash, there's even that snap-on helper (that thick black circle that tells you when you're snapped onto something).
Recently however, I click and drag, but I can't see anything!! However, after I release the mouse button, then the box or the circle actually pops up normally.. But I am unable to "pre-see" the shape of what I'm drawing. What's going on?
Draging boxes from adobe photoshop and MS paint works fine.. and even on Macromedia Director... why is flash doing this to me???

Drawing ...
How does one create a pixelated gradient in one color that goes from that color to transparant?... I would be like a solid color that gradually pixelates to small boxes that eventually disappear...

API Drawing
I am trying to design a simple drawing game in flash but I have encountered the following problems with the published .swf file:

Does anyone have any ideas?!

Drawing API - Help?
I've just started experimenting with the drawing API.
I'm just trying to draw a box, but all it does is draw 2 sides of the box. here's my code;

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
with(yada) {
this.lineStyle(2, 0x00FF00, 100);
this.moveTo(80, 80);
this.lineTo(120, 80);
this.lineTo(120, 120);
this.moveTo(80, 120);
this.moveTo(80, 80);
};
};
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.
